Sports activities

Sports at the hotel

The resort has a heated Olympic-size outdoor pool with 10 lanes (paid service), which can be booked for private use or you can swim in one of the shared lanes (subject to availability). There is also special training equipment: floats, hand paddles, pull buoys and flippers.

Costa Teguise has a network of paths and trails ideal for training for races. Starting at the sports reception you can take different routes adapted to suit your level: from flat trails for physical training, to walking routes around the volcanoes surrounding the area. We have GPS maps and tracks on the best routes available at our sports reception.

In addition, just 10 minutes from the resort is the Lanzarote athletics track where the most specialist sportsmen and women can train.

Open water swimming

Just 400 m from the sports reception is the Playa del Ancla, a small and pleasant cove of white sand and crystal clear waters. The 2 breakwaters of 150 m in length simulate a natural swimming pool. These are protected from waves and currents thus allowing for risk-free open water swimming. In addition, its rocky exterior provides home to a large array of fish and its calm waters are a delight to sunbathers. It’s ideal for gentle swimming and diving.

Cycling

Lanzarote offers a very varied landscape, from low plains to extreme heights and a good road network, including many little-used paths that pass through fascinating scenery. From your base in the Costa Teguise, you can reach all areas of the island by bike, especially the Risco de Famara area, which is one of the highest spots on the island. Many picturesque villages beckon you to enjoy a rest.

The modern, spacious Cycling Centre at the Occidental Lanzarote Mar is located right in the foyer of the hotel; the following routes are recommended:

If what you'd like is to discover one of the most beautiful sea beds in Europe, it's best to visit one of the nearby diving schools, and the hotel offers their services upon arrival.

Courses: For both beginners and experienced divers, the beauty of Lanzarote's amazing underwater seascapes is something unique and truly beyond comparison. There are various scuba diving schools in the area. Ask about booking these services on arrival at the hotel.

Golf

Aside from the beach and sun, it’s possible to take part in a whole range of activities at the Occidental Lanzarote Mar hotel. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a round of golf during their stay, on the spectacular Costa Teguise golf course (approximately 2 km away).

There is a second golf course located at Tías (17 km away).

Surfing, Windsurfing and Kitesurfing

The pleasant climate, great temperature of the water, and naturally the wind and waves all make Lanzarote a perfect destination for windsurfers and surfers from all over the world. In summer when the trade winds reach Lanzarote, Las Cucharas beach excels as one of the best spots in the world for windsurfing. The waves are most powerful from October to March, although the conditions are good enough to surf the waves during the rest of the year as well. The biggest waves are mainly on the north, east and west coasts.

Paragliding For lovers of aeronautical sports such as hang gliding or paragliding, this is the perfect island. You have to take the course and the strength of the winds into account when choosing the ideal place to take off from. The best days are between November and March. Flying over the Riscos de Famara is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing experiences. In Costa Teguise you can enjoy incredible views of the whole island.

Cuisine

The Occidental Lanzarote Mar hotel offers a variety of options for its guests, whether they are couples, families or groups of friends.

The Las Palmeras restaurant is a buffet restaurant offering a wide range of exquisite traditional dishes, Mediterranean and international cuisine, with the highest quality raw ingredients and preparation. This modern, elegant and spacious restaurant with high ceilings features show cooking and also caters for special dietary requirements (upon request). The Mediterranean restaurant offers an à la carte fusion menu with excellent dishes together with professional service, and all of this in a modern and elegant setting. A highly-recommended place within the resort.

The Coco Snack bar offers the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing drink, cocktail or snack without having to leave the magnificent pool area. Plus, the Atlántida Lobby bar, situated in the foyer, serves coffee and cold drinks all day long. And for those guests who are looking for a more personalised, exclusive service, the resort has an area with Balinese beds surrounded by lush gardens where you can find more privacy with your partner, with the Karma chill out bar ready to satisfy any request.

In the evening, the professional entertainment team at the Occidental Lanzarote Mar gets on the stage in the Timanfaya Bar, offering live shows and entertainment for all ages. The hotel services finish at noon on the day of departure. The dress code must be followed in the à la carte restaurant. Some services are not included in the All Inclusive programme and are subject to an additional charge.

.When booking make sure which hotel you are booking as there are two similarly named hotels the Occidental Lanzarote Mar and the Occidental Lanzarote Playa which are only around 200 yards apart but separated by a main road.This report concerns the Occidental Lanzarote Mar.
The hotel is large and absolutely spotless.Rooms are large with a huge double bed and large wall mounted television with some BBC and ITV channels along with SKY NEWS.,and large bathroom with bath and overhead rain shower. Safe and fridge are available at extra charge.Food is good and breakfast is extremely large with all your usual cooked items plus made to order omelettes and a large selection of cold meats and cheese.
Lunch is plentiful with hot and cold choices.Dinner provides numerous hot options,salads and again meat and cheese as well as dessertsWine with meals is provided and while I am no connoisseur found it completely acceptable..While the weather was extremely good for sunbathing at around 73 degrees the vast majority found it too cold for swimming.There is an Olympic size pool which I understand is heated but incurs an admission charge.Be aware however that this pool has swimming lanes and you cannot just swim around as the pool is used by a lot of extremely proficient swimmers.Good sized and well equipped gymnasium.Staff very attentive.
One thing I was not happy about was the adult only pool.
It has a pool bar and I was aware that drinks here had to be paid for as they were not included in all inclusive.
My wife wanted a coffee and I asked for it at the bar and was quite prepared to pay for it,however they didn't sell it.
So I left the complex obtained a coffee and took it back for her.I just reached where she was lying when I was pounced upon by a young man saying I could not give it to her.This was the same guy I had tried to buy a coffee from.He stuck out his hand to take it from me and in an acceptable manner told me to hand the coffee over or leave.We left.
All inclusive drinks are of course mostly unknown brands.Whisky incurs a charge which you cannot pay in cash I ordered one and had a credit charge machine thrust in front of me for 4.50 euros.Ridiculous.
Note however in the evening showbar J&B whisky is available on all inclusive.
There are nightly shows of a good standard commencing around 9 o 'clock after the kids entertainment.
Animation team are excellent performing and organising daily activities which with a polite no they will immediately back off.
This is an excellent hotel which I thoroughly recommend.

We travelled 29 November for 7 nights. Our weather was just perfect and we had a very relaxing time. The food at this hotel was so delicious. Looked forward to every meal - really enjoyed the cakes. And the wine at dinner was of a very high standard.Brought my Gym stuff but never used it. Like to workout before breakfast but gym didn't open until 9.30am and I would have missed breakfast (my favourite meal of the day). Would be good if it had opened earlier...say 8am. But Ioved this hotel and will be back.

Week break in December. Hotel staff pleasant. Rooms cleaned daily. Dining staff hard working and friendly. Plenty of food. The downside was pools far to cold. Food could have been hotter. Hot water for tea was never hot.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, so many choices. Room was big and cousy. Night enterteinment was very cool and funny. Bar drinks was perfect. Free bus drived to the town. Thank you!
